Past tense.

It is one of two Spanish past tenses. The preterit (el pretérito) is used for actions begun and ended in the past. Hablé ayer - I spoke yesterday. The other is the imperfect. (pretérito imperfecto). This is used to describe things in the past that are habitual or continuous action. Hablaba ayer. - I was talking yersterday. Many times translated as "used to." The imperfect is the most regular tense in the Soanish language.
